-I always think about the first record
every time I think of you,
because you came on when your record first came out.
I think I was the first person to show you your physical album.
-The vinyl, yeah. -The vinyl.
-Never saw that. Until you showed it to me.
It's pretty iconic in my memories.
-Me too. And I made you sign it for me.
-Yes, I did. -Thank you. I appreciate that.
I just -- I fanboyed out.
Anyway, I want to talk about the new record.
I know. August 31st.
I know it's called "Treat Myself."
-Yes, it is. -I want to get into all this.
Because, bigger news -- you're planning a wedding, as well.
-I guess so, yes. -Yeah, I mean...
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's what I'm talking about! Yeah! Yeah!
-There she is.
-Now, it's a big deal. -It's a big deal.
-Are you getting involved with this,
or did you hire someone for like $80,000
to, like, "Come to blah-blah-blah"?
-I never -- As a young girl, I never saw myself
with this giant wedding, but I knew I saw myself
with a hubby and with babies everywhere.
I'm not pregnant, but, like, one day.
It has to happen. Yeah, hopefully, yeah.
-Yeah, so, just like -- I want to chill in my backyard
with my fam, and, like, have my brother deejay,
and just, like, relax.
-Your brother is going to deejay at your wedding?
-Yeah. I don't want a...band. I love you guys, though.
You're invited if you want to come play.
I just don't want -- I don't want, like, a wedding band.
I want, like, a...deejay. You know?
-Deejays are fun. But it has to be like...deejay.
-Yeah. It's gonna be my --
Like, J-Train, my bro, Justin. -Yah. Of course. J-Train.
Is that his deejay name? -Now it is.
-[ Laughs ] Would he deejay growing up?
-Yeah. He's a producer.
He's younger than all of us,
and every time we had a party or, like --
We went to my manager's party,
and, like, Adele and Hilary Duff were there.
And we're like, "What are we doing here?"
And the music was playing. We're like, "It's okay."
And my brother plugged in,
and he, like, deejayed for the rest of the night.
Just picking -- He knows what songs to play.
-And just took over the party. -Right.
-See, I can't do that if we go out with Questlove
because he's actually too good of a deejay.
-See? That's like a real deejay, you know?
-He's actually fantastic, but I will go up and be like,
"Quest, can you play..." -"Quest!"
-He's like, "What?" I go, "Can you play Randy Newman?"
He's like, "No, I can't play that."
But I really did do that at one party.
And he was -- -Oh, my God.
-No, he did not -- He did not play it.
And food is a very big, important thing.
You realize food is a giant, giant thing.
-I guess so. I'm learning all this.
-Well, someone will complain. Someone will always complain.
Just know that. -All right, all right.
-There will be an aunt or someone who will be like, "really?"
-"Really?"
-"I had the fish, and it was so gross."
I'm like, "Oh, get over it. You're not here for food."
But what are you thinking?
-See, I haven't even stressed about that yet.
-Oh, you have to. -But, I mean, like, as a --
-It's all about stress, and then when it's over,
you're like, "Why did I stress about that?"
-Apparently. Everyone's like, "Calm down." I haven't started.
But when I was a child,
we would have, like, disco parties at my house,
like, our family parties.
And we would always have, like, Chinese food.
I don't know if I'm going to have Chinese food, but, like,
it was such a luxury for us
because we would fly it over to Nantucket.
'Cause we never had, like, a Chinese --
a big Chinese restaurant.
-You imported Chinese food? -Yeah.
-From where? From China?
-From Cape Cod.
-Wow! The best.
They have the greatest Chinese food.
-It was so good! We'd wait hours for this Chinese food.
-How would you -- How would you get it to your house? Seamless?
-I guess -- I mean, I just thought, like, Santa Claus
brought it or, like, some magical person brought it.
But they put it on a plane,
and we ordered it like delivery through the plane,
and that's what everyone did on Nantucket.
-No way. -Yeah.
-There's no Chinese restaurants in Nantucket?
-At the time, I guess there wasn't,
but this was, like, our favorite place.
-Was the food still warm? -Oh, yeah. We heated it up.
You know, just like delivery.
-You have to have cold egg rolls at your wedding.
You have to. Just for fun. -Just for that, you know?
-Just for the fun of it. -Just memories.
-Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah. I want to talk about "The Four."
-Yes. -First of all, congrats.
-Thank you so much. -It's a hit.
-Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
-I love it. -Thanks.
-It's a new take on everything, and I love --
I know Diddy for a long time, and he's great.
But the idea of it is basically there's four --
there's four, like, talented singers, right?
-[ Laughs ] Yes.
-And then different people come on, and they challenge
one of the four to take their spot in The Four.
-You do it so well. You explain it so well.
Yeah, exactly. -So that's what it is.
-We got our four that we love,
and then new challengers come up each week.
-And then you knock off a Four, now you become one of The Four.
-You can take their seat! Yes. -Yes. And you pick the person --
-But you got to get through us first.
-I know. And how is talent this year?
-They're so good, man. -Anyone sticking out?
Yeah, I mean, there's this one guy on our Four
who has been there since day one -- James.
[ British accent ] James Graham. He's British.
[ Normal voice ] Isn't he good? Isn't he great?
-[ British accent ] He's British, isn't he?
-Isn't he British?
-[ Normal voice ] And, then, Sharaya J.
She's a rapper on the show that I love,
and she just, like, a hero 'cause she's actually battling
stage-two breast cancer while being on the show
and flying back and getting chemo.
And she's just my champion.
So we love her. She's amazing. -Wow. Good for her.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's crazy. That's awesome. -Crazy.
-And then I want to hear about your album,
because I heard on the radio, listening to Hits 1 on Sirius,
and they're like, "Meghan Trainor's got a new album coming out...
It's called 'Treat Myself.'
Out on the 31st. And her family is singing on the album."
I go, "What? She's going to be on my show.
I gotta ask -- I gotta ask her about all this stuff."
So it's August 31st. Did I get that right?
-Yes, yes, yep. -"Treat Myself."
Like, "I'm going to treat myself."
-Yeah, treat yourself. Yeah. "Treat Myself."
-"Treat Myself." And your family sings on the record, as well.
-Yes. They're starting to get the checks.
-They really want the residuals. -Yeah.
-Now, can I ask you a question? Can they sing?
-Yeah. They -- -[ Laughs ]
-They can carry a tune. -They're okay.
-They're like -- They're what I need, you know?
I just need, like -- I need someone who can be
in the background just yelling like "Ay," you know?
A lot of that. I actually have a clip.
I brought it here today. Can we play it?
-You brought a clip?! -I brought a clip today.
-You never bring a clip. -I never bring a clip.
-This is fantastic. -This is filmed by me.
-All right. This is a video of your mom.
-Amazing. It's my mom, my brother, my fiancé.
This is just an example of one day I told him
be as sassy as he possibly can be.
Here it is. -Okay. Be as sassy --
Here's some vocals off the new album. Check it out.
-♪ If you love me, love me, love me like you say ♪
♪ Darling, tell me all the ways ♪
♪ Tell me all the ways ♪
♪ And he said... ♪
[ Cheers and applause ]
-He was getting real sassy.
-♪ Tell me all the ways ♪ Yeah!
-Fantastic. Hey, guys. Meghan Trainor.
